Good Tuesday Morning! It is already March 1st! Where did the time go--even with an extra day in February?!

I just had an email from tango (written late last tnite) that she asked to be shared on the mb. She is probably in surgery now or will be sometime today. Here is the situation:

i fell saturday tripped over a concrete block at head of parking space. shattered upper part of bone going from lower arm to elbow. surgery tomorrow to replace area with metal implant. outpatient no cast. should be ok for competition in 14 weeks. leanne says they'll be creative when we are there in 2 weeks. at least it was left hand. ok for half the dances and i can write/type. cant wear jeans put on a bra tie shoes open medicine bottles attach passenger seatbelt, etc. have to find way to train because swimming is out.

just wanted to let you know. will try to say hi tomorrow or wed.

Healing thoughts and prayers to tango.....I'm sure she be fine, but how inopportune (isn't every thing like this inoppportune?!) with the dance competition weeks away? Hopefully she will be back in shape within that time.

Thank you Jet for sharing.  Poor Tango.

Oh WOW Tango, that sounds painful.  I can't believe that you will not even be in a cast and that it is being done outpatient.  I guess, that really is good as you will not be in a hospital for long, but still, it sounds "terrible".  Surgery to put in a metal plate is no easy task.  So glad that it will not side line you for too long and that you will still be able to dance, even if you will have to be creative with your arm.  Glad it wasn't worse.  I mean, you could have landed on your head or broken a rib.  Falling is not fun.

Yikes! Sending healing thoughts and prayers, Tango! That's horrible. It's a good thing you are so determined, though. You will push through this, I have no doubt.

Thx for good wishes. Got home about 5. Actually the worst part was the SEVEN tries it took them to start an IV. I hate needles. Achy now and incision burns as they said it would, but excruciating pain of unexpected movement is gone. Good pain pills and ice helps. Dr gave me 4 options for shattered bone--do nothing, remove some fragments, rebuild with screws, replace head of bone with metal n implant. Only #4 have full functionality of elbow. So it was not really a choice. 14 weeks till dance competition. Dr said I should be ready. I told everyone about competitiom because I didn't want them to treat me like old lady.

And my situation seems so trivial compared to Aprils. Im forwarding any hugs/prayers I receive her way, too.

Drifting off again.

  ​Sorry to hear of the accident, tango. 
I think I have some idea of your situation.  My eldest had a quad bike accident at a friend's place when he was 13 years. Silly boys, he could have ended in a wheelchair - I had no idea they had gone there after school.   It sheared his radial head of.  It was repositioned surgically, but without screws as the fragment was too small.  He then had a radial head necrosis and the space is now filled with gristle tissue.  He has very limited movement in his right arm since.  He has to have the same surgery as yours, I believe, but they try to put it off as long as possible as he was so young.   Hope you will feel better soon and be able to throw your arms around whichever way is needed for your dance movements.
